The Fender Vintera II '50s Stratocaster delivers the style and sound of one of the company's classic eras with a modern-day twist. This solidbody electric guitar is replete with decade-specific appointments, including a mid-'50s Soft "V"-shaped neck, a vintage-radius fingerboard, and vintage-style '50s single-coil Strat pickups — it's tailor-made for guitarists who scour pawn shops in search of classic playability and bell-like Strat tones. Vintage-style tuning machines and a vintage-style synchronized tremolo round out the Vintera II '50s Strat's hardware, while parchment plastic knobs and a 1-ply pickguard provide original-era aesthetics. The Vintera II '50s Stratocaster also sports a vintage-tinted neck and a vintage-inspired color — believe us when we say it's the next best thing to owning a carefully preserved classic.
Who says they don't build 'em like they used to? The Vintera II '50s Stratocaster boasts a contoured double-cutaway body carved from a solid slab of alder — the balanced-sounding tonewood whose acoustic tonal characteristics have fueled some of the more enduring recordings of modern-day music. This Strat's maple neck features an ultra-comfortable mid-'50s Soft "V" shape, and its 7.25-inch-radius fingerboard is laden with 21 vintage-tall frets.

A classic Fender tonewood known for resonance, punch and clarity, alder has a balanced and lively tone with beefy mids and a robust low-end.
The 7.25” radius fingerboard provides vintage comfort and feel, while vintage-tall frets provide slightly more height than vintage for big bends and wide vibrato.
Based on a Mid-'50s "V” profile that’s been slightly rounded, this "Soft V" neck has a distinctly comfortable fretting-hand feel.
There’s really nothing like the timeless singing, snapping, screaming and sparkling sound of Fender single-coil pickups. These ‘50s spec pickups are full of the woody warmth and bell-like, crystalline tone that made Fender instruments famous.
